The Fall of Joe burrow and the bengals




Written by Carmine Tuosto of Swish Tribune


In 2022 Joe Burrow was a Quarterback with very high expectations who had a very good year. Despite his 12 interceptions he had 4,475 yards and 35 touchdowns with a 68% completion rate. This year Joe Burrow and the bengals are 3-3 and are having trouble on offense. 


The bengals as a whole has an under-performing offensive line and a lack of production in both the pass and run games. The Bengals are among the worst in the league in most offensive categories, including total yards per game, rushing yards per game and passing yards per play.


Joe Burrow only has 7 touchdowns 1,230 and a 63.4 % completion rate that means he is on pace for about 17 touchdowns and about 3500 yards. Some sources say that he's not playing well because of his calf injury which I agree with.  Burrow's injured calf was getting better before the bye week, culminating in better mobility and five passing touchdowns against just two interceptions during the two-game winning streak.


Tee Higgins, who has shown he is capable of big plays, caught two touchdown passes from Burrow in the Week 2 loss to the Ravens but hasn’t done much else. He suffered a rib injury in the loss to Tennessee and missed the next game. He was back last week and had only two catches for 20 yards.


On the bright side Jamar Chase is playing to his expectations with 50 receptions 556 and 3 Touchdowns 


The bengals had this bye week to clean things up and have to prove they are playoff contenders still this weekend against the 49ers

ACC & Big 12 Approves new CFP Revenue Model

Image
 Are They ACCtually in Trouble? Sage Rubin, Swish Tribune Despite moving to 12 teams, the College Football Playoff is set to move to 14 teams in the coming years. However, this time, there is a twist: Both the SEC and the Big Ten conferences are set to take 58% of the generated revenue, while the ACC and Big 12 are set to take 32% of the revenue, leaving Notre Dame and the G5 to take the other 10% of revenue. While this may seem like a no-brainer for the ACC and Big 12 as this ensures at least a somewhat large share of the pie in a world where we are beginning to see two power conferences emerge… this was a much more dangerous decision on the ACC’s end and here’s why. FSU and the ACC are currently in a lengthy legal battle involving FSU trying to set themselves up for an exit from the ACC, citing that the conference has hampered their ability to compete with the competition. The most prominent example of this was the controversial College Football Playoff Selection Show that aired ...

My Knicks Trade Deadline Wishlist

Image
Written By: Spencer Teman, of Swish Tribune The NBA Trade Deadline is just days away and many teams are in need of making a move including the New York Knicks. The Knicks have been one of the hottest teams of late, being 9-1 in their last 10 games, but they are not anywhere near perfect as a roster just yet.  The Knicks already made one of the biggest trades in the NBA this season when they acquired OG Anunoby from Toronto, but their next move needs to be centered around acquiring another shooter that can play valuable minutes off the bench.  Once the Knicks are fully healthy again, they have a tremendous starting lineup, but ever since they traded away RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley, and also with multiple injuries, their depth has been tested. The only way you can be successful as a team in the NBA is to be able to knock down 3's at a highly consistent rate.  The perfect guy that comes to mind for the Knicks, who fits Tom Thibodeau's wishlist, is Bruce Brown. Bruce Br...
